Dreams About Cheating Yourself

Dreams are something that we all have. Some dreams are good, some dreams are bad, some dreams leave you feeling confused because you can't figure out what they are supposed to mean. Some people feel that dreams can be prophetic, and maybe in some cases they are. People often have dreams where they are either cheating on their significant other, or their significant other is cheating on them. Dreams about infidelity and cheating are some of the most common dreams that there are, but they don't necessarily mean that anyone is actually cheating. Dreams very rarely mean exactly what they seem to mean. Look up any dream in a dream dictionary and you will see that this is true.

If you have a dream that your significant other is cheating on you it may indicate a fear on your part of being abandoned. You could also be feeling a lack of attention from your partner. Having dreams that your partner is cheating on you can also mean that you don't feel as though you measure up. For example you may feel as though you are falling short of the expectations that you have for yourself or that others have for you. Occasionally dreams about your significant other cheating on you can be a sign that your subconscious is picking up on cues that they are not being completely honest with you or that they are not fully vested in the relationship.

Dreams about being cheated on can indicate that you have a feeling either consciously or subconsciously that your partner is keeping something from you. These dreams can also occasionally mean that your subconscious has picked up on subtle changes in the relationship. Changes such as a new fitness routine or diet, changes in cologne or appearance, or a new wardrobe can sometimes signal that your partner has an interest in someone new.

If you have a dream that you are cheating on your significant other it may be an indication that you feel as though you have compromised your integrity in some way. Sometimes you may have a dream that you are cheating if you feel as though you are wasting your time or energy on an endeavor that will not pay off in the end. Dreams about cheating on your spouse or significant other can also represent changes in your sexuality. If your sex drive has been increasing having dreams of sexual encounters with people other than your significant other are not uncommon. Dreams about cheating on someone can also be an indication that you feel guilty about something that has occurred in your waking life. Perhaps you have not been as truthful with someone in your life as you feel you should have been.

Sometimes dreams about cheating are an indication that you or your significant other have become bored with your sex life. Perhaps the two of you have fallen into a rut and need a little something different to spice things up. Everyone in a long term relationship has had a dream about cheating or being cheated on at one time or another.

If you are about to get married you should know that it is not at all uncommon to have dreams about cheating in the days before your marriage. You are preparing to make a lifelong commitment to one person so having dreams about sexual encounters with other people before you do should be considered normal. Some people interpret this to mean that you have apprehension about your future spouse or your relationship with them. Others feel that it would be unusual to not have dreams about what might have been before taking such a life changing plunge. Having dreams about cheating on your intended spouse can just be a way for your mind to work through the process of "what if's". These kinds of dreams do not mean that you will cheat on your spouse or that they will cheat on you.

Alternatively, dreaming about cheating at a game can indicate avoidance of certain aspects of your own personality that you are uncomfortable with. Dreams of cheating on a game can also mean that you have feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, or that you are not being honest with yourself about something.

If you dream that one of your friends is being cheated on then it can be an indication that you distrust or dislike their significant other. A dream about a friend who is being cheated on may mean that you feel consciously or subconsciously that they deserve to be treated in a better way. If you have a dream that you are the one the friend’s partner is cheating on your friend with it may simply mean that you feel a lack of attention from your friend, or that you or your friend are not being honest with each other.

If you have dreams about flirting with someone other than your significant other you may be feeling as though you need more intimacy and affection. Perhaps you are feeling a little left out or ignored by your partner. There is also a possibility that it means that you are ready to take a current relationship to the next level.

Please keep in mind that just because you have a dream about cheating or that someone is cheating on you that it might not necessarily be true. Sometimes a dream is just a dream, and it doesn't really mean anything about what is happening in your life. Dreams are very open to interpretation and just because you have a dream it doesn’t have to mean anything significant. Having a dream about cheating or being cheated on one time is probably nothing to worry about. A recurring dream about cheating may have more significance. There may be something in your life that you feel is holding you back or is not paying off for you the way that you think it should. You could feel that you aren’t being as honest as you could with someone in your life or that they aren’t being completely honest with you.

I really believe that Dreams can be a form of prophecy. According to dream researchers, if you develop a habit of recording your dreams, in time you will gain a clearer vision of your life and your development in the past, present and future. Dreams can be a way of your brain reviewing events.
